All of that guy puny have p: set] out into the beyond. The writer looks buck and recalls the exit of a few of those guests of :1 single evening. Among them wore two medical gentlemen who stood high in the respect of the community, and each enjoyed :1 good practice in his profession. Ono become :1 drunkurd and never ceased to drink until it brought him to his grave. His two sons became dissipated young: men. They wasted farms and money until one died in a hotel. and the other led an unsuccessful life. 'J'he utlnr, gentleman of excellent put-is and abil- ity. was when unli: for practice when most wanted. of life. His wife, one of the most splendid and vivacious ladies of that lively evening. became :1 hopeless in- cbrizite. “'hili- in one of her fiis «if intoxication she [fell into one of the huge fireplaces of that day and burned herself so terriny us to be beyond re- covery. Another, :1» clever, \‘t'ITSiktlle gentlcliian, “graced with polished manners and fine sense,” :t candidate for pari'ranicntury honors, drank to excess, became financially involved, and ended his career by sending a bullet through his brain. Another guest, a. gentleman who had been a. gallant officer in Her Majesty’s sci Vice, ruined his fortune in the erection of :L large hotel, which was never finished, and died in poverty. And the genial host of that guy Christmas gathering after a few years of hiin living mid (loop drinking, died of :1. burst car- buiicle on his face. He was found in his bed smothered in his blood.

The father wasnot a total :1bst:iiiier»â€"few were in those days. The sons follow- ed the. father’s example, and, :is is often the case, improved on it. The parents endeavored to educate their children and fit them for superior po- sitions in society. The ordinary vo- cutionsin life were below their mn- bition. The youngeststudied for the. medical profession, graduated Lind entered on :1 successful practice, but that insidious enemy of so many young men who think that stiimiliuits are, necessary as an aid to study, ()\'l‘l'< cume him.

To the Editor chHI-l LIBERAL Dear Editingâ€"“'9 are fairly started on our lrip'tâ€"o the Old Country. After leaving Toronto yesterday morningr at 0.10 nothing: eventful occurred until we reached Montreal at about 7 p in. The trip from Toronto to Montreal by the ORR. is very monotonous. After leaving our own fair county the counâ€" try commences to become very stony and reminds one very much of parts of Muskoka, and you would Wonder how the farmers in this part of the country live; in fact they do not live. they merely exist. This state of affairs exists until you pass Tweed and from there on to Smith‘s Falls the? country is very good. for farming, and from this on to Montreal good farms are scattered along the route. The farmâ€" ers here are starting their out harvest, and it is a very rare thing to see :1. self binder, the instrument still used here being the self rake reaper, and near Montreal the hauling in is done with carts, which looks odd to :1 person from Ontario. Between Toronto and Montreal the places of :my size are I’etei-boro, Perth, Smith‘s Fulls. many of the other places being flag stations. St. Ann’s is :t very pretty place and contains :1 farm run by the. priests, and has very extensive buildings on it. Upon arrival in Montreal, after we had had refreshments, we enquired the nature of the evening amusement and the piincipzil place seemed to be Sohmer Park, and thither we went and found there '(I. few trees and ii . large. building usod as :1 concert hull. have become one of Toronto‘s merchâ€" Thcrc happened to be :1 concert. going on, which, being perform-16d in R'cnch, we. thoroughly enjoyed. This riioi-ning, Friday, we. made :11 tour of the city and visited the princi- pal places of interest. Montieul in many respects is far superior in ’I‘oronto. being so in the magnificence of its churches, private, residences, public buildings and \vnrehousegs, but us to park‘s, the lay of the city generâ€" -.1.lly, its streets, Toronto is fur ahead. \Ve started out. from our hoicl and visited the Notre which is :i very fine building. niaguil’lccnce (if the inside surpasses description: in fact 2111 the (‘niholic churches are elegant structures and: :ii'e fur zll'imul of anything in our country.

VVe then journeyed on visit- ing the Nazareth Asylum for the blind and afterwards went to the Jesuit church which perhaps for beauty of .(lcsigu siii'pusscs :my other church in Montreal. From here we went to Moi-gun's store :mdwus very politely received by the manager who :it, one time lived in Toronto. This store is very much like. Simpson‘s and :il» thouin not the largest is the best built and lighted lll the city, and sells 3. superior class of goods, :1nde:iters in the best people. \Vc made some. purchases in this store. From thence. we wont to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian church 11nd on post Phillip’s Square, Mr-(iill college, Rcdpath‘s Muse-uni to the leservoir and still on to the Royal Victoria Hospital which is of the finest building,r of its kind 21nd best equipped in Canada. It possesses :i grand situ- ation being on the, side of the moun- tuin :md consequently has abundance of fresh ‘r. All this time we are gradually ascending the mountain, the object We have in view. to reach the top. ‘i'c journey on past the Me- Intyre residence which cost; $1,000,000. the Allan residence and without any» thing further of interest reach the top which is 125 feet above the, level of the city. From this point we take what is called “the view," a. point from which you can see the city :it the foot. discerning ull the principal buildings, the-docks, the Lacliino Rapids, Vic- Ull‘lél. Bridge, The Grey Nun’s Island, Baseball grounds, etc. After refresh- ments we commenced the downward trip :md pass (I through the residential part where reside such men as Red- p:iLh. Sir A. T.G:ilt. Hector McKenzie, Sir \‘i'. Vethornc, Diiinnnond, Hick- son. etc; on past the Boodle Block built by the hoodlch from Chicago, and the Sherbooko Flat. ‘Ve then journey on past J. Murphy 65 C035 dry goods store, past the Dominion Square where is erected that grand old man‘s monument, Sir John A, Macdonald. Thence we. go to the \Viudsor hotel, which we just Walked through. being it little too rich for our blood; then to Victoria Square with Queen Victoria‘s monument. and on to S. Carslcy‘s departmental store which is the largest in Montreal, but not quite as big as Eaton’s. After this we partook of ll. substantial meal I at our hotel. In the afternoon we again started out and took :i trip on electric cars to a place called Boutâ€"de-L‘Ile, which b:~ing tI‘:l.ll:.lI(‘ll means End of the Island and is situated at the junction of the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence Rivers, distance from Montreal being twelve miles, the round trip being made in one hour. and twenty minutes at Cost of 25 cents. On our return we took the ferry for St. Helen‘s'lsland and upon our return to the. hotel embarked on board our ship. “'c did not get away until eight o‘clock Saturday morning, and we are now fairly started on our voyage. The scenery along the river from Montreal to Quebec is simply grand. There are very fe'.' important places along the route, the principal being Sd‘i'l'IElI and Three Rivers. We reached Quebec at 7.30 p. in. and took on passengers from a. tender which came from the shore. we laying at rest in the river. It is here. also that mails are exchanged and from where you will receive. this letter. I will write to you again from Movillc, Ireland, and give you some of our eX~ pericuces. Yours etc., H. A.
